The wheel stud pattern is 5 x 100 on our cars.

Bore size is 56.1mm

Offset on factory wheels is 50

I think the offset on the wheels I have at the moment is ET35 from memory which just about sit inside the arches.

When I was looking at wheels a couple years ago I don't think there's much choice but to go with 5 x 100 ones as wheel adaptors would make the wheels stick out past the arches.

Would Love to get Jag Wire wheels on my Rover 75? Now that would look cool. But alas, not a 5 bolt, so wont fit

Wire wheels have been fitted to a 75 before. Don't know what ones these are though.

Silver for me also.
Both my cars are LEF (XPowerTempest grey) like the OP's but Mk2 R75 Contemporary SE's with 17" Meteors. I've the original (getting a little bit scruffy now) liquid silver (MBS) on the Tourer and silver sparkle (MNH) that may have been refurbished prior to coming into my posession, on the saloon.
I can see a non-standard silver over black finish being complimentary to LEF but that's as far as I would perhaps go.

I had Audi 17s on mine but have changed them for a different set that the person I got them off didn't know the make or vehicle they originally came off.
